log  ./.cache/shotwell/shotwell.log

I want to move the photo directory to /home:
mkdir /home/kftdv/shotbilder
edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs for XDG_PICTURES_DIR
rm -r /home/kftdv/.local/share/shotwell
shotwell --datadir=/home/kftdv/shotbilder

Import is refused with a lack of permission reported in the Import-log.

In shotwell.log a ancient device is referenced, because I moved my home directory.

I tried unistall/install without success. Are there some more hidden files to remove?
